Our Story

We at kunkel kandles know that a humble household candle can have the potential to invigorate, to transport us immediately to a state of serenity or even back in time to a special memory. Established in 2020 in Grand Haven, Michigan and ignited by a passion for crafting, kunkel kandles by b.marcelyn strives to create a unique, evocative fragrance experiences for our customers using only premium and environmentally conscious materials and processes.

We understand how personal fragrance is and believe that your candle should be made that way too. Each of our small batch creations are hand poured of USA-grown soy wax in our one-women studio. With a variety of sophisticated fragrances and pure essential oils to choose from, we offer scents suitable for every season and occasion - perfect for indulging in some self-care, ushering in the holidays or thoughtfully gifting to a friend. A tasteful accent even when not in use, our candle vessels are even designed to be repurposed and refilled again and again.

Scent is our strongest connection to memory, but we believe that a candle can aspire to even more - which is why ours are carefully crafted to burn safely for both you and the environment. It’s easy to smell the kunkel kandles difference, but our other differentiators include:

• USA-made, FSC-certified wooden wicks that burn clean and free of pollutants

• Soy waxes that are gluten, phthalate and lead free, keeping your household environment free of irritants

• Refillable, reusable, recyclable vessels that cut down on landfill waste

• Handcrafted quality and individual attention to detail
